Red Lobster and especially their baked potatoes. I asked our waitress, jokingly, that I'd love their recipe. Without hesitation, she told me she was the one that baked them and wrote it down so...here it is. Baked Potatoes a la Red Lobster Style. Wash and dry potatoes Coat in melted butter or extra virgin olive oil Cover in kosher salt (and I mean COVER; not sprinkle) Preheat oven to 450F and bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until done. Covering steams them and doesn't bake them so do not cover. Remove excess salt before serving.

Peggy, David and I are planning on going to MANDARIN in Niagara Falls, NY for Christmas dinner. About a week ago, she asked me for ideas for what to do on CHristmas day, and when I got an email from Mandarin, I got the idea and presented it to her. She asked David and once he found out that Katherine is busy on Christmas Day, he said YES. I must remember to call Mandarin tomorrow and make reservations. They open at three p.m. on holidays. However, I want to make sure that Becky has someplace to go and/or something to do for Christmas so I am thinking of having a CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST here at my house. I think I have decided on a breakfast casserole and a baked pancake and fresh fruit. I will even make coffee!

Sunday: Before church, I went to Panera and got a drink and also to the DOLLAR TREE for napkins and tissues. Pastor Craig is in Israel so Jim Hood spoke and he did a good job. Unfortunately, I started a fit of coughing about ten minutes into the sermon and had to go out and sit in the foyer. I was able to watch and hear the rest of the sermon on a tv screen out there. Jim finished the sermon earlier than usual and I went down to the kitchen to help out with starting the SENIORS CHRISTMAS PARTY. I helped put tablecloths and other items on the tables. It was my job to watch the table with basket raffle items, but it was all set up and very little that I could do. Louise won the two glass candle holders that I gave to Peggy a while back. The rest of the party went well and the meal provided by the Koteks was very good. In the gift exchange I got a heated mask for dry eye, which I can use. It was James birthday and Cindi had made cupcakes to celebrate: When I got hom...

SUNDAY: I am still suffering from this head cold or COVID. I think it IS Covid, but I don't have any tests and I do not want to pay for one. I called Glenda to let her know that I would not be in church, and she told me that she is also staying home, she does not feel well. She said Carol won't be in church either because she went to an early service. Jan is also not feeling well enough to go to church. I found my church service LIVE on facebook and cast it to my ROKU TV. I laid down on the couch to listen to the sermon and I have have fallen asleep. Anyways, I stayed on the couch a long time. I just do ot have any energy. Except for taking the trash out to the road, I did not go anyplace today. MONDAY: I had really wanted to be able to keep my eye exam appointment this morning, but I was not able to since I still feel awful, so I called and cancelled. I watched the movie AS GOOD AS IT GETS. TUESDAY: I went out for a bit, to mail checks to Lockport Lawn Sha...
